WIP Storm Hawks

Thanks for the comments everyone.

 

All of my Dreads have magnetic arms so they can be interchangable for bigger games. The pose might have been for balance while I took the picture.

 

As soon as I get my drop pods in better shape (assembled - I'm just using the bases now for proxy), I'll come check your store, daggit.

 

I usually can get a lot of work done Tuesday and Wednesday night (my wife works late) so expect an update later in the week.

I didn't get as much as I wanted to, but I'm doing my best to do them right so I don't have to go back later. This one is pretty much done except for the bolter and backpack.

Then I started to get bored with doing the whole squad at once, so I took a little break and started working on the Melta Dread.

Then I started on a drop pod.

Sorry about the quality - I wanted to put in an update today and all I had handy was my cell phone camera. Hopefully, I can get a rythmn back for the troops, but I'm to the point of touching up and highlighting and I find it tedious. Enjoy. C&C wlecome.

I still have to highlight everything and paint up the doors and the interior, but it's a good start and it also seems like the hardest part with all the detail is done. I know that it looks super clean for a drop pod, but I wanted to get everything painted and then go back and spend the time adding damage/weathering/etc. I'm also thinking about adding company and squad markings to the top of the fins - white lettering over the red. Should I do it on all the fins? C&C welcome.

I probably wont get a chance to prime the doors and interior until this weekend so I'll probably go back and try to finish the squad.

I've played a couple of games with this list and if everything shows up when it's supposed to, it's too predictible. The flipside is when nothing shows up - it's unrelible, so I made a new list using with similar elements. Shrike, Tactical Squad x10 ML/FL in a DP, Tactical Squad x10 ML/FL in a DP, Scout Squad w/ snipers w/ Missle Launcher w/ Telion, Assault Squad x10 w/ x2 flamer & x1 PF (Shrike is here), 2 Land Speeders w/MM & HF, 2 Land Speeders w/Typhoon & HB, Dread w/ Multimelta in a DP. The only work that went to waste was the captain and the command squad, but I want to finish them and use them in larger games.

 

I started on one of the Melta Speeders - mostly just base colors and lining. I still need to clean up the lines and highlight.

I also started on a scratch built Shrike. I forgot to add an Iron Halo to his jump pack, but as soon as I find one in my bitz box, I'll add it. Just base coat and starting to line.

I started on the scouts painting scheme. not sure I like it, but the more paint that goes on, the better I feel about the choices. I've only started hightlighting the browns.

I was thinking about a simple urban camo for the outside of the cloaks and the inside just a simple grey.

C&C welcome as always.
